Hello Sean,
I just have to thank you for all the amazing work you have done on pypilot and opencpn, super cool. I intend to buy hardware from you shortly.
Also beholder77 thanks for posting your work.
The use case that brought me to start looking at the work beholder77 is doing was my desire to build a simple system with one rpi inside running opencpn + pypilot that is in a dry secure location away from magnetic interference and a simple interface with a screen and buttons at the helm.
I was thinking of using your original spi and gpio setup for this but i feel that the spi interface for the screen is not robust enough for ~5 meters of cable in a noisy marine environment, plus it would require a loom with many conductors.
What would you suggest for a control interface for his kind of simple setup?
Keith
